Accutronix t. trees

[pauly]

I have been reading Gas Man's "The Rebirth of the Phoenix" and could not help drooling over his triple trees!
Looked up Accutronix and found their triple trees are on special!!!:up: On eBay I went and found a last set -offered $320.00 and got it. (polished not chromed)
They are 41mm and 3 degrees- are they the right ones for 2008 Mastiff?

Here is link to Accutronix trees:Accutronix

They should fit, I have the Chrome Gothic Trees from the same guy $374.00 You should be ok with the 3 degree rake, my Dog is an 06 mastiff and they work good. Direct bolt on didn't even have to mess with the wheel spacers.

Now comes the turn signal question are you going take them off and or are they required where you live. Those tress don't have the holes for turn signals.

I put mine on using the head winds bracket that attached to the head light.

Good Luck

Thank you for confirming the fitment Carlos!
I'm glad to hear that I won't have to mess around with any spacers but still do not know about the indicators as they are required by law in Australia.

Ok Finally a couple of Pic's on the Turn signal lights for the Custom Accutronix trees (Gothic)

If you use the Headwinds Headlight/turn signal bracket you get about a 1 5/8 separation between to two turn signals. I decided to add 2 inch spacers about 3/4 OD and about 5/16 ID. They cost about 10 bucks from Boltdepot.com I also go the bolts I think 5/16 X 20 by 2 1/4 in length not to sure but close. I can always dig up the part numbers if you want to go this route. The Acctronix trees do not have holes for turn signals and I hate the kind that mount on the tubes, so this was best for me. BTW Raywood is the one who gave me the idea :2thumbs:

fork stop

did u have to modify the fork stops? i guess thats what u call it. what makes the forks stop at a certain point. what about front wheel spacers? could u use the stock spacers? thanks

These Trees were direct bolt on. The fork stops are the same as the stockers. I used the same wheel spacers without any problems or modifications. The only thing was the turn signals that I have to improvise to install them and for that I used the Headwinds turn signal set up with 2 inch extensions :2thumbs:

You still have to make sure the "Fall Away" is set right or your front end is going to be off.

Thank you so much for the pics Carlos!:up:
I'm working away from home so I did not have internet till now.

Your dog looks nice!

 

[leandean99]

can u explain Fall Away? are these trees about the same thickness as the stock ones.

It's a test done to check how tight or loose the neck bearings are. with the front end of the bike off the ground you set up a marker for a center indicator then tap the wheel right and see where it started to fall away and then do the same to the left.
This may not be a great descrpition, but if you saw it done it'd make sense.

What he said, except I like to do mine with the brake caliper off. Raywood had a sticky on here awhile back which makes sense.

Do a fall away search, that might give you a better understanding of the need to do it and how its done. Its hard to explain especially during the lunch break :lol:
